In a world of conflicted loyalties, rapidly diminishing human power, and the possibility that anyone can be a spy, what's at stake is nothing less than human freedom's last hope to survive the technology revolution.

I bought both books on a 2 credits for 1 deal. I struggled through both books. There were some intriguing ideas in Feedom but for the most part it was terrible. So much could have been done with the ideas by a talented author. I can't recommend either book sadly.

Thousands of autonomous computer programs, or daemons, make our networked world possible, running constantly in the background of our lives, trafficking e-mail, transferring money, and monitoring power grids. For the most part, daemons are benign, but the same can't always be said for the people who design them.

This book starts out interesting with a very intriguing topic then flops into a mind numbing video game. Shoot it up, crash and bang boring chases that go on and on. It could have been a very interesting book of technological intrigue. Rather it was very long and boring and not at all intellectually stimulating. It was too long, too vulgar and basically a 2 star book. I bought the sequel in a 2 for 1 sale. Sorry I did as I don't think that I can stand any more of this mindless nonsense!

In teeming Victorian London, where lavish wealth and appalling poverty live side by side, Edward Pierce charms the most prominent of the well-to-do as he cunningly orchestrates the crime of the century. Who would suspect that a gentleman of breeding could mastermind the daring theft of a fortune in gold? Who could predict the consequences of making the extraordinary robbery aboard the pride of England's industrial era, the mighty steam locomotive?

UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL!

Very Dry

Side stories lengthened the book but added little to the story. Many parts were interesting but I lost interest when the book went off on wild historical tangents. All in all a very average book.

Rarely does a week go by without a well-known executive being indicted for engaging in a white-collar crime. Perplexed as to what drives successful, wealthy people to risk it all, Harvard Business School professor Eugene Soltes spent seven years in the company of the men behind the largest corporate crimes in history - from the financial fraudsters of Enron, to the embezzlers at Tyco, to the Ponzi schemers Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford.

This book was very dissapointing. More than half of the book is financial history not at all about the companies and people referred to in the summary. It was difficult to listen to. Finally late in the book came the interesting studies. I wouldn't pay to purchase this book. if you do you may want to skip to the back chapters .

When young Josiah Penn Stockbridge accepts the position as aide-de-camp to George Washington at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, he thinks only of the glory and romance of battle. He is unprepared for the reality of America's bloody fight for independence. The Continental Army is starving, underpaid, and dangerously close to mutiny, and Washington fights not just to defeat the British but to maintain order and morale among his own men.

The story was based on a very narrow piece of history. The book is good for history buffs. The last 13 chapters were basically the "credits". The book was a bit of a dissapointment but the narration good.

I liked the Mason Callahan books so I down loaded this series. Chilled is the first one I read and I didn't enjoy it as much. The language is rougher and sex more explicit. I didn't like that at all. I will read one more in the series before I give up on the others. Maybe they will be less offensive to me.

Last seen in 1997's
Flesh & Bones, Jake Lassiter is a hero unlike any other in the courtroom.
Booklist called him "one of the most entertaining series characters in contemporary crime fiction." The former Miami Dolphin is still swimming with sharks in his latest, boldest novel of suspense yet. Amy Larkin is in town, looking for her sister Krista, who vanished without a trace almost two decades earlier. She seeks out Lassiter because he's the last person to have seen her alive.

I used to like Levine, but this is lame

Bad language

The language was reallly bad and the sexual content very disturbing. I stopped reading but picked it up again because the reviews were ok. I'm sorry that I selected it and would not recommend it.

The Operator ranges across SEAL Team Operator Robert O'Neill's awe-inspiring 400-mission career that included his involvement in attempts to rescue "Lone Survivor" Marcus Luttrell and abducted-by-Somali-pirates Captain Richard Phillips and culminated in those famous three shots that dispatched the world's most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden.
